This report relates to 1 case(s)

The Employment Appeal Tribunal has held that there is nothing in agency workers laws to prevent employers from choosing permanent members of staff over agency workers for job vacancies.

In Coles v Ministry of Defence [2015] IRLR 872 EAT, the EAT held that agency workers are entitled to receive information about vacancies in the end user's undertaking, but this does not extend to a right to be considered for appointment to the post.
